Northeastern University Oakland Public Safety

[OceanNora]

462.4250 NAC 662 - Northeastern University Oakland (formerly Mills College) Public Safety. I'm not receiving it as strong as I do NUPD from the Revere area, but I've picked up enough traffic to confirm based on areas mentioned (Underwood Apartments, Prospect Hill, Richards Gatehouse). I'll be happy to put in a submission ticket, I just though it was interesting to see that a campus 3000 miles away has a link with main campus. I've seen that several times before with corporations such as Google in Cambridge and Foundation Medicine but other than MCPHS this is the first time I've seen a university link campuses from other states. I heard NUPD dispatch call "Mills Dispatch," with "Mills Dispatch" advising the alarm was accidental.

Unless something recently changed NUPD is completely encrypted so how would you hear this?

[OceanNora]

It's not on the NUPD frequency, it's on a separate frequency that comes up as licensed as NU, 462.4250 NAC662. My hope is that it will stay in the clear, though I worry that since I posted about it that may not stay the case.

[ScanBoston]

Northeastern is on 464.975.

[OceanNora]

Correct, that's NUPD F-1. This frequency I've mentioned isn't NUPD, this appears to be some sort of IP-linked local repeater for their Oakland Campus Public Safety so they can be heard in Boston. NUPD can talk on it, but it's not NUPD's frequency - think the BU Medical Campus Public Safety frequency, BUPD can access their channel but it's not a BUPD frequency. I'm not quite sure what the operational reasoning for it is, but it's rather cool.

[ScanBoston]

Well I have to say little KDS245 has added a lot more frequencies to their license then when I was there. https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSea ... ey=1608892

Nothing heard (452.4750) from my QTH on the South Shore, other than DMR on that Frequency which is likely the Adj frequency for the local Prep School

No P25 at all, yet NUPD comes in fine on their licensed frequencies

"OceanNora"

Which frequency are you talking about?

462.4250 NAC662 or 452.475 NAC662.

You mentioned both. Your first post was 452.475 followed with 462.425 and then you submitted 462.425.

[OceanNora]

Forgive me, fat finger. 462.4250 N662. It does come in much lower signal strength for me than the NUPD frequencies

[ScanBoston]

I can't think of much of a purpose this would fill. My guess is they have SmartConnect or Waze and someone has just patched to this channel on a console perhaps just to keep the frequency active. Just a guess.

[W1KNE]

OK I updated your original post.

[W1KNE]

Northeastern is on 464.975.

They actually have several frequencies locally used. Their PD main and secondary channels are P25, Fully Encrypted. And a "Student Patrols" channel that is analog, in the clear.
Also their power plant frequency is in analog and IDed. The "Facilities" channel has never been heard, and this channel OceanNora has heard.

[OceanNora]

Not to take it too far off topic, but I've ID'ed the frequency listed in the wiki, 463.2625 as the Ryan Center. It's DMR with a Color Code of 8, but I haven't ID'ed the two talkgroups enough (SL 1 TG 1 and SL 2 TG 3 ) well enough to add them to the wiki unless that's enough. It's 100% only Ryan Center traffic from the two talkgroups I've heard so far as opposed to a general campus-wide facilities channel.

On my northerly facing UHF Yagi, on 462.4250 I keep getting weak DMR bursts. Almost like Cap+ "Beacons". But it's not strong.

This frequency was last heard in 2018 by the Dedham-Westwood H2O division and a mystery user with DCC07 that Bill got but never listed the TGs.

[ecps92]

AND the mystery CC07 is still out there, rather strong, going to see if we can ID - most of my past had Spanish on TG: 8004

I see there is a Ryan Center for Sports Medicine at Boston University and a multi purpose arena in Kingston RI. Not sure which your speaking of or what it would have to do with Northeastern.

[OceanNora]

*had it wrong again, I meant the Marino Center, their fitness and recreation center

[ecps92]

the only activity on this freq heard from the South Shore with a beam is the CC 07 DMR
not enough traffic yet to get locations - thinking this maybe Gillette in SoBoston

[OceanNora]

I would get weak DMR bursts when on the frequency listening from just north of Boston, but so weak I couldn't even get a CC

[W1KNE]

I would like to get more clarification on this. (Make sure it's not temporary, etc) before we add it to the wiki.
